AOMDV Protocol: A Literature Review

Bhawna Mathur, Anuj Jain

MANET has received the significant attention in every field of Information and Communication Technology industry. The nodes in Mobile Ad hoc networks continuously move leading to randomly changing topology which further leads to many problems such as link breakages and loss of packets sent by the source node to the destination. In MANETs, the nodes are mobile and battery operated. As the nodes have limited battery resources and multi hop routes are used over a changing network environment due to node mobility, it requires energy efficient routing protocols to limit the power consumption, prolong the battery life and to improve the robustness of the system. This paper evaluates the performance of various adhoc routing protocols such as DSDV, AODV, DSR, TORA and AOMDV in terms of energy efficiency and it also proposes a new routing algorithm that modifies AOMDV and it provides better performance compared to all the above protocols.  This paper gives an overview of the MANET and AOMDV protocol .It also explains its advantages and disadvantages.
